He has a Palestinian father and Iraqi mother:
Sounds like a *perfect* candidate for a WH invitation from POTUS…
Via CBS News:
Two sources with the Kurdish peshmerga military force told CBS News on Monday that its troops in northern Iraq had detained an apparent American ISIS defector as he tried to make his way back to Turkey.
The man, identified by Kurdish news organizations as Virginia resident Muhammad Jamal Amin, 27, was apprehended as he approached a peshmerga checkpoint near the Iraqi town of Sinjar.
Reports suggested that the peshmerga initially believed the suspect was a suicide bomber, and that they fired warning shots at him, but that he then identified himself as former militant with the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) who wished to turn himself in….
He says he’s from the United States, and that his father is Palestinian and his mother from Mosul, Iraq….

Was he born here? Or did his family immigrate? If immigration, from where and under what circumstances? Need to identify pathway to America in each of these cases. His family could be extended and may be of interest. His friends, previous co-workers, school chums, acquaintances, and neighbors can be of interest.
Perhaps he is one of Obama’s “dreamers” that decided to go back and “get some”. Either way, those firing on him need to spend more time on the range.
If he’s claiming to be American he should be going directly to jail. Parents should be interrogated as well ! How many others like this are there ?
